Botany Pots - Farming Automation

This mod introduces special botany pots - unique blocks designed for growing various agricultural crops. These functional containers not only serve as excellent decoration for your world but also significantly simplify the farming process, making it more efficient and convenient.

Main Features

One of the key features of botany pots is the automatic replanting system - after harvesting, seeds are immediately replanted, eliminating the need for manual reseeding. For complete automation, a special "Hopper" upgrade is available, allowing the pot to harvest itself and transfer items to chests or other containers.

The mod's design capabilities include seventeen different color variations of pots, allowing them to blend harmoniously into any interior. For experienced users, extensive datapack support is provided for adding new crops, soil types, and fertilizers, as well as integration with CraftTweaker for complete configuration control.

Getting Started

To start using botany pots, first craft one through the crafting table. Then select the appropriate soil type for your chosen crop - different plants require different soil conditions. For example, wheat grows well in regular dirt, while nether wart prefers soul sand. After selecting soil and seeds, simply right-click the pot with the corresponding materials to begin the growing process.

Plant growth takes a certain amount of time, but it can be accelerated using bone meal and other types of fertilizers. Harvesting is done with a simple right-click, with seeds automatically replanted. To extract items from the pot, use the Shift + Right-click combination with an empty hand, or simply break the block.
